Experience using project plans, spreadsheets, trackers and reporting tools. Commercial awareness and a focus on delivering outcomes rather than simply following process. Experience within housing, supported accommodation, public services, healthcare, social care or similar sectors would be advantageous, although candidates from other fast-paced environments will be considered.
